Can you show me a pick of where you installed the catch can on the supercharger. I have a TVS 2300 on my 2014 2ss/rs.
thanks!

Just use the seafoam, I've used both the sea foam and the stuff from the local dealer, no difference in effectiveness and doing the seafoam treatment your self won't cost you an arm and leg.

Also I would only do the induction and fuel, I wouldn't worry about the oil treatment especially with the synthetics our cars use.

A catch can is not necessary, its not like your going to have catastrophic engine failure with out one, but is extremely beneficial to keeping your engine clean and running at its peak.

Once you understand the concept of WHY you use a catch can, then youcan ask yourself the question again and know the answer certain.

Go ahead and suck this stuff down, can't hurt! That is 5860 miles worth!

I recently bought a used 5.3L Tahoe and had this cleaning done. Is the catch can install much different on this GM V8?

It shouldn't be, I put a 5.3 in an s-10 and run a catch can on it. The bracket that comes with the elite allows for pretty universal mounting if it is not the same as the Camaro, then just put the hoses in place of the pcv line as you would on any of the others.

since we are talking about the Catch Can, does it void warrantly? Since it is something mechanical not just cosmetics.
